29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(4)(i): All Class I work, including the installation and operation of the control system, was not supervised by a competent person as defined in 29 CFR 1926.1101(b): a) In the period between 20th and 23rd of June 2014, the employer did not ensure that a competent person supervised Class I work operations conducted by employees removing asbestos thermal insulation system (TSI) pipe elbows containing 5-35% chrysotile asbestos.
